Camera IconAndre-Shane Moorby has pleaded not guilty to dangerous driving causing injury in an alleged hit-run.

A Queensland Rail worker, who blamed a blind spot for allegedly running over a young woman with a mobile crane before fleeing as she lay seriously injured on an inner-Brisbane street, is waiting to hear his fate.

Andre-Shane Moorby, 60, pleaded not guilty in the Brisbane District Court to driving a Pettibone dangerously in October 2017 when it caused grievous bodily harm to Iuliana Stevenson.

On Wednesday, the jury retired to consider if Moorby is guilty of the charge, which left Ms Stevenson with fractures to her spine and upper body, as well as lacerations and abrasions.
